Well said, Observer's view! That is exactly true, I have lost track of the number of small businesses in SC who have closed all together or relocated outside the village limits during the last 4 years. It is a pretty sad state when the village is the highest taxed entity in the county and the county is one of the highest taxed counties in the state. One would think that is a very strong message that it can no longer be business as usual but apparently not. Doesn't seem to bother them that their credit is almost at it's legal limit, we'll just raise taxes so we can borrow more. Yes, you still have to repay the debt but just like a credit card once you close it so it can't be used, the interest drops. Try it sometime!!

At what level of excitement should I be? Especially since someone else is only going to vote to override said tax "caps" anyway. Just a politician'sway of shifting the blame, otherwise overriding them would be illegal.
